Unlike many I didn't expect any different, the Saffies have been doing it for a decade and claiming he spoils while lots of other countries try to lift the image of the game!
Thing is they are 2-1 up in the last Test. They're job to win the series, not necessarily the Test, which a draw would do, so they bat us right out of the game so we have absolutely no hope of tying the series. That's there only responsibility. It's not their job to declare, it's our job to bowl them out.
